Kenya - GlobalXplorers
It could be argued that "safari" was born in Kenya, with the primal drama of lion, leopard, and cheetah hungrily following a sea of wildebeest so immense, at times it seems the earth itself is moving.The annual Great Migration, Africa's single most famous safari draw, occurs every September and October as animals travel between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara Park reserve. The park takes its name from famous nomadic Masai people, who wander as freely across the Kenya–Tanzania border as their cattle. There is more to Kenya than safaris, though: from coral reefs and white-sand beaches to tea plantations (plus a tourism infrastructure that can get you to all of them) you're not likely to get bored.
Kenya lies across the equator on the East Coast of Africa. It borders Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan to the North, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the South and the Indian Ocean to the East. Its terrain rises from a low coastal plain on the Indian Ocean to mountains and plateaus at its centre. Most Kenyans live in the highlands, where Nairobi, the capital, sits at an altitude of 5,500 feet (1,700 meters). Pleasant and favourable with plenty of sunshine all year round. Rainfall is sometimes heavy around April to May while some areas are cloudier though without much rain around July/August.
